Current Charity

Blue Hill Troupe is proud to partner with NYC Outward Bound Schools for our 95th season. NYC Outward Bound Schools transforms schools and changes lives by bringing their educational approach to NYC’s young people and their public schools, with a focus on students from educationally underserved communities.

NYC Outward Bound Schools operates a citywide network of public schools in partnership with the NYC Department of Education that fully embody their educational approach. Their Network Schools use the national EL Education model, which is rooted in Outward Bound, and also feature intensive supports around college access and preparation, as well as leadership and character-building programming for students.

They also bring their approach and most effective and replicable practices to a growing number of public schools and youth-serving organizations outside of their network through Adventure & Team Building programs and Select Strategies professional learning services.

Since their founding more than 30 years ago, NYC Outward Bound Schools have helped to bring out the best in more than 100,000 students, preparing them for success in college, careers, and citizenship, while simultaneously working to redefine what educational excellence looks like in our city’s public schools.

Partnering with the Blue Hill Troupe will allow NYC Outward Bound Schools to continue to transform schools and change lives for NYC youth, preparing students for success in college, careers, and citizenship while simultaneously redefining what educational excellence can look like in our city’s public schools.
